That is the general rule of thumb, not sure if I really made that point in my previous post. Same deal with putting strut braces on: you stiffen that part of the car, you lose overall grip there.
I might not have qualified myself as much I though when explaining the drift-style setup, the softness at the rear is more to allow the throwing of the weight around from one side to another. Of course, at speed the forces generated exceed the lateral force the tyres, thus the weight and lack of lateral grip force the tail to go around in that direction.
There are plenty of factors involved in getting the overall suspension setup right for how you like it. Plenty of people (especially Sam) have been working on it, I hope to get the time to get the kind of practical knowledge you have
